Spring Tasks to Give your Real Estate Business Curb Appeal

Spring is here and with it comes the most hurried time of
year for home buying. Here are a few things a real estate virtual assistant can
assist you with that will maximize your success during the hustle-and-bustle of
the spring real estate season.

If you don’t currently use a customer relationship management (CRM) software, create one.

Most
agents struggle with having the time to keep up on their CRM, and have not been
using their CRM simply because it is a mess. It typically becomes our job as
real estate virtual assistants to clean it up and get it organized and
working for you.

Keep in touch with existing contacts and
previous clients

In
the real estate industry, customer relationships and the services provided are
a bit different than e-commerce businesses. However extremely important
dynamics begin to appear when we have happy customers and maintain client
relationships. A great experience will
likely reward you with repeat business, and even if you only get a customer to
buy or sell a home with us twice, it ultimately delivers to us additional
revenue for a far lower cost than finding a new customer. Note that 25% of
real estate agents generate more than 50% of their business from
repeat clients.

Detox your inbox

An
overloaded inbox causes stress and could result in missed connections. Clearing
your inbox avoids multiple handling of emails, detoxing insures that things are
not lost or forgotten, you won’t constantly be interrupted by new messages and there
are more appropriate places to store email messages. We also recommend automatically filling
certain emails in folders to help stay organized.

Update your automated communications

Automating
your outreach with software can be an ideal solution. Sure, it may have a
slightly lower conversion rate, but it’s much less expensive than a sales team
and will lead to higher overall results.

Update your website

Most
times your website can be your first impression. When people visit your site, they see it as a
reflection of your organization. If your site looks professional and is loaded
with useful information readers will see you as an authority and expert. 75% of buyers start their search online.

Offer staging tips for hard-to-sell homes

Participate in a local home buying seminar

Home
buying seminars are a great way for real estate agents to educate local
residents, while generating new business at the same time. After all, what
could be better than a roomful of people who need the very services you
provide?

Give your marketing materials a makeover

Freshen up your listings

Revise your social media strategy

Try keeping the same energy for your social media marketing efforts as
you do in the slower times of the year.
Make this spring market your best yet with these tips! Maintain
your momentum and set the stage for your success year-round.

Always have a plan on how you’re going to succeed. If you don’t have one, find one. If you can’t find one, make one. You need know where you’re going at all times otherwise you’ll just be wasting time. Once you’ve figured it out, stick to the plan. If you’re not willing to take risks and seek it out until the end then your plan isn’t good enough. You should find another plan that works for you. That you believe in 100%. Do what feels right for you. Believe in yourself. Believe in your plan. Never doubt yourself. If you don’t believe in it, who will? No one but yourself.
